Guest posting at the Inspiration Cafe!

Good morning Everyone!!!

Some of you will remember this - and the conversation that came from it ( HERE )
when I stencilled our butcher block kitchen island


notice the date on the photo?
6 months ago -
it was ready for a change LOL
it now looks like this
thanks to the Graphics Fairy  and  Block Posters


You can head over to the INSPIRATION CAFE today ( where I'm guest posting ) to see how I did this.

But before you head over - can I ask a huge favor?

I've entered a contest over at East Coast Creations - and one of the ways to win is by most viewed.
They're suggesting we ask our readers to go over and click on our submission!
This is the one I've submitted
I was raised on Country Sunshine  ( remember this one ? ) Painted with Annie Sloan Pure White and Versailles on the background beadboard...................


It's a really fun contest and though the competition is fierce I thought it would be fun to give it a go

Wish me luck - and you all have a great Tuesday -
See you tomorrow with I WANNA live there,
